Red's Fans Check in

[Brian D.]

Billy Hamilton hit his first major league home run last night in the Reds' victory. Good thing he did, the scores are way too tight for consistent wins more often than not.

[elderboy02]

Brayan Pena is looking good!

[Brian D.]

Looks like the Reds are running low on healthy catchers. Does this signal the return of Corky Miller??

[elderboy02]

Not good news about Bruce...

Brian, I think we need Benito Santiago as our catcher. I loved watching him throw runners out from his knees.

[Brian D.]

Not good news about Bruce...

They'll miss his glove in the field, but not so much his bat at the plate. Jeez does anybody chase after more low, outside curves and sliders?

[chippewastud79]

Not a good rehab start for Arnoldis. I'm still wondering if they shouldn't have shopped him after the injury. :hm

[hotreds]

Aroldis didn't fare well, either!

[elderboy02]

I am worried about Chapman getting torn up in AAA.

[chippewastud79]

I am worried about Chapman getting torn up in AAA.


Having the injury he has is going to have an impact of the velocity that he used to throw at. I really think that there is no way he comes back as the same player. :confused:

[Brian D.]

Hmm...Chapman hit 102 mph yesterday; not quite 105, but he just got back to 'The Bigs' ya know. He even had a bit of curve/break on one or two of those bullets, not sure he knows how he manages to do that trick himself.

[hotreds]

He said that his slider didn't work for him- but it sure fooled the batter! Keep throwing that lousy slider that works like a wicked curve and you'll be fine!

[elderboy02]

Chapman looked great yesterday. The batter that he "walked" was really a strikeout. The FoxTrax showed it CLEARLY inside the strike zone. It wasn't even borderline.

[hotreds]

I tell ya, the strike zone is crazy! Home plate umpiring leaves a great deal to be desired!

[Brian D.]

I should have quit watching last night's game much sooner than I did.

[Brian D.]

They managed to squeak out a 2-1 victory yesterday. Jay Bruce is slated to cme back soon, but that won't help hit/run production unless he goes into his one-month-a-year hot streak at the plate right away.

[Brian D.]

Last night's win over the dreaded Cardinals was how the Reds should be playing, consistently, if they hope to get into the post season.

Let's sse if they can go two out of three or better yet get the sweep broom out on Sunday night.

[elderboy02]

I had a blast last night at the game

[Brian D.]

Guess I shouldn't have mentioned their victory. That's 10 out of 11 or 11 out of 12 series against they Cardinals that the Reds have lost.

Someone should get Jay Bruce a five foot long bat to use if he's going to continue to swing at those low outside pitches game after game.

[Brian D.]

I hate to pile on but holy carp the Reds are stinkin' up the stadiums right now.

[elderboy02]

Finally, a win!

[Brian D.]

Maybe Bryan Price reads this thread, got mad at my pessimism, and gave the roster that big shakeup to quiet me down. Then again they were playing the Diamondbacks not the Giants.

[elderboy02]

Reds win! Reds win! :tu

[Starscream]

I'm really becoming a Frazier fan as of late. He and Mes seem to be the only guys who play with energy and enthusiasm. Future team leaders?

[elderboy02]

I totally agree about Frazier and Mesoraco being leaders. Frazier is the "get everyone up and happy guy" and Mes could be the more serious leader...

[elderboy02]

Awesome pictures Hugh! :tu

[Starscream]

Great pics! Awesome seats!

[Brian D.]

Reds kind of :sl the Pirates last night didn't they?

[elderboy02]

Reds kind of :sl the Pirates last night didn't they?

They sure did. Lets hope we can get the sweep today! :tu

[Brian D.]

Yikes! After last night's game we need a smilie that shows a train wreck. But :fp2 will have to do.

[SamDiamond]

My first post here and it is about my Reds.

What a brutal pitching performance last night.

Up 8 and we lose?

Seriously? Middle relief was horrific. Parra is struggling.

[hotreds]

Gruesome!

[Starscream]

We are starting to look like a team lately.

[Brian D.]

Okay a four game sweep is pretty dang good for the Reds this year, congrats. But....you knew there was gonna be a "But"....all the wins they've racked up this last week or so and only one game gained on the Brewers. Still a big uphill battle.

[elderboy02]

How about them Redlegs? :banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

[Brian D.]

How about them Redlegs? :fp2

Fixed it for you.

[Brian D.]

I'm okay with Jay Bruce pulling the ball to right every time he makes contact--as long as they go over the outfield wall like the last couple nights.

Weird seeing him play first base though.

[elderboy02]

Awesome win last night!

[Brian D.]

Nice to go into the AS break with a solid win, and a decent streak of them lately.

[elderboy02]

Things are looking up! Now lets hope Bailey, Votto, and Latos can get healthy soon.

[Starscream]

Frazier did us proud last night. His brother wasn't the best choice to throw to him, but he still made the final round.

[Brian D.]

Not very encouraging stuff since the All Star break.

[elderboy02]

Not very encouraging stuff since the All Star break.

Not at all :td

[Starscream]

Turrible. Just turrible...

[Starscream]

15 innings and that's the best we can do against Arizona? Ugh.

[elderboy02]

I get mad watching them anymore...

[Starscream]

I get mad watching them anymore...

Yeah. They were on a roll before the break. I went to the Brewers game on July 5th (the only game they lost that series). Going to the game and seeing that good run pulled me back in. The last ten games has quickly made me lose interest again.

[Brian D.]

:pu

'Nuff said for now from me.

[chippewastud79]

No trades and losing 2 out of 3 to the Diamondbacks. Hey, at least they won today against the Marlins on the nice (err bad) call from the replay officials. :tu

[elderboy02]

It was a good call. Dude was blocking the plate before the outfielder even had the ball.

[Starscream]

The call was overturned because of a stupid rule. They were right to overturn the call, but the rule itself sucks. They really need to look into revising the blocking the plate rule for next year. Last night was a perfect example of why this rule sucks and how a team is punished for a perfect throw to the plate and having the runner out at home by this new rule. Thanks, Buster Posey. At least we won for once.

Exactly, the rule sucks, but the umps in NY made the right call. I think we should go back to running the dude over if he has to block the plate.

[Starscream]

I can see the point in making the rule, but it needs to be modified from the way it is currently written.

I'll take the win, but it just sickens me a little bit the way it happened. It's just not baseball.

[Starscream]

Did any of you see ex-Red Adam Dunn's pitching debut last night? No wonder he Ks all the time. He doesn't know where the strike zone is.

[elderboy02]

Yeah, I watched the YouTube video. :tu

[Starscream]

Yeah, I watched the YouTube video. :tu

It was entertaining if nothing else.

[Starscream]

Two nights in a row the offense showed up. Wow.

[elderboy02]

Cozart hit a 3 run HR!!! Holy crap, I guess even he couldn't miss a mistake pitch.

[Starscream]

Cueto has logged 200 more pitches than any one else in the game this year. He is on pace for 250 innings this year. With Simon already falling off, you'd think Price would start to be a little more conservative with his pitchers' arms.

[elderboy02]

Dusty Baker 2.0?

[Brian D.]

Reds at home can't beat teams like the current red Sox, no playoffs for them this year.

[Brian D.]

:fp2 :fp2

[elderboy02]

Absolutely terrible.

[Brian D.]

I understand why the on-air commentators have to try to put a positive spin on things, but when they go to the "We're only X number of games out in the wild card race" nonsense, I want to drop a shipping crate full of straws on them. Why? You know, so they literally have some to grasp at.

Turn the sound off and listen to the radio broadcast. Marty bashes this team pretty regular. :)

Woot! :r

[Brian D.]

I'm thinking this thread, like the Reds themselves, is about done for the season.

[hotreds]

yup on the latter for sure!

[Brian D.]

I gave up watching last night when the reds were losing 9 (or maybe was it 10?) to 2. Yeesh!

[Starscream]

So they get rid of Simon and Latos, but no additions made yet? Only rumor going around now is for Aoki (not impressed). Looks like we will be at the bottom of the division this year for sure.

[chippewastud79]

On pace for 162-0 :D ;)

Reds were idle today. :bh

Early morning finish, regretting watching it this morning. :bh

[elderboy02]

3-0! Way to start the season with a sweep of a division team!

:banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

[Starscream]

Our bullpen is going to kill us if they don't do something quick. Gregg has to go, and so far Jumbo is not the same player he was last year.

[elderboy02]

Gregg is the biggest POS. Even his outs are hit hard.

[hotreds]

It's early, but if we had lost yesterday, the season would just about be shot for the Rojos!

[Brian D.]

If the Reds don't :sl the Cardinals at least two out of three, they have just asked for a bigger shovel to dig themselves out of the early hole they are already in.

[elderboy02]

I don't really like the idea of playing all of our division the 1st month of the season...

[shilala]

5-4 and Votto is healthy and playing big boy ball.
Give it 40 or 50 games, boys. You guys have a nice club. :tu

[elderboy02]

..You guys have a nice club. :tu

I guess you haven't heard about our bullpen :na :hn

[hotreds]

or starters not named Cueto!

[elderboy02]

This is getting brutal...

[Brian D.]

This is getting brutal...

Brian Price would perhaps say the same thing...but add 75 or so F-bombs to your statement, Dan.

I get the feeling he thinks the sports reporters work for the Reds or something, and there should be a 24/7 buddy-buddy relationship between them and the team.

:r

C. Trent was just doing his job... reporting on the team... I guess when you have a bullpen like the Reds do, I would be frustrated all the time as well :na

[elderboy02]

Well... that was a slugfest :)

[hotreds]

Hope they saved some runs for Johnny!

[Starscream]

Lorenzen showed some potential today. Nothing to write home about, but he could be something down the road. Once again, the pen took all hope of competition away.

[hotreds]

The Brewers should have been swept both series. That they weren't bodes ill for the Reds.

[hotreds]

Maybe 2016 will be better........

[chippewastud79]

How is that investment in Homer looking now? :bh

[elderboy02]

How is that investment in Homer looking now? :bh

:r You secretly like Homer Bailey. You secretly like him, just like you do Brian Kelly.

[Starscream]

Bailey down, Leake and Cueto probably won't be here at the end of the season, the bullpen sucks except for Cingrani and Chapman. It doesn't look good for next year either. Desclafani and Lorenzen have been bright spots so far though.

[Starscream]

No more Gregg! He's gone!

[chippewastud79]

No more Gregg! He's gone!

Took long enough for that move... :bh

[elderboy02]

Sat thru a 2 hour rain delay to watch them lose last night :(

Oh well... at least the beer was good.

[hotreds]

They couldn't get a clutch hit if it bit them on the a$$

[Starscream]

Took long enough for that move... :bh

We're going to the World Series now.:)

[chippewastud79]

A nice walk-off win last night. :tu

[Brian D.]

Reds haven't won a game since I got back from vacation...over a week ago! Six losses and two off-days I think.

[Brian D.]

Bryan Price got ejected from today's game while he was turning in the lineup card!

[Starscream]

Adam Dunn is retired, but this team is more than well dunn.

[elderboy02]

Do you blame him? The team is terrible and he just wants out. LOL.

[Brian D.]

Overheard at Beer Sellar, cigar friendly watching hole across the river from Great American Ballpark: "This streak goes three longer, we can sing a new tune: 'The twelve days of Reds-loss'."

Okay it was me who said it, working on the lyrics already.

[chippewastud79]

Nice day at the ballpark yesterday with the boys. The result of the game, not so much. The way they are playing does make the ticket prices cheaper. :tu

Glad you and the boys had a good time. My Dad and I bought the Nasty Boys Pick 6 plan and one of the games we picked is tomorrow.

[Tommyboy TbM]

Love the Reds!

[hotreds]

Absolutely pathetic!

[elderboy02]

How embarrassing...

[Brian D.]

Watched last night's train wreck down at Beer Sellar. Afterwards I asked the bartender if I should hand over my belt and shoelaces to keep from doing myself in. She said sure, but then again the Ohio River is right behind you past the patio...

Geez.

[Starscream]

When are they gonna blow this team up? Keep Votto, Frazier, and Phillips. After that, I could care less.

[elderboy02]

Well, we know Cueto and Leake will be dealt this year.

[chippewastud79]

Any shoppers for Homer Bailey and his $100 million? :bh

[elderboy02]

:r Hey, he just had Tommy John and has a brand new elbow! That means he will be an ace! :tu

Might as well trade Chappy with them and see what we get. Not like he's had a lot of opportunities this year.

Congratulations to Todd Frazier for winning the 2015 HR Derby! Finaly, a reason Reds fans can cheer this year.

That was awesome! :banger:banger:D:noon

I also put in a bet before the game that Frazier would win the derby. I wagered $10 and it paid out $55 :tu

[Starscream]

Looks like Cueto is going to the Royals. The deal that fell through last night has been reworked. Neither club has yet confirmed it though.

[elderboy02]

Looks like we got some good LHP's for Johnny Beisbol :)

[Starscream]

All three look promising, Dan.
Looks like all of our trading is done. It was reported today that no teams are interested in Chapman at this point. And I don't think we are gonna get anything for Leake or Bruce at this point.

[Stephen]

Thanks for Cueto, fellas. It'll be nice change of pace to have our best pitcher start the game instead of finish them. :r

[elderboy02]

Thanks for Cueto, fellas. It'll be nice change of pace to have our best pitcher start the game instead of finish them. :r

You are welcome. It was fun watching him develop into the ace that he is today. :)

The Reds still have their ace. Bailey is going to be Johnny Beisbol 2.0. Or at least they paid him as such. :bh

[chippewastud79]

All three look promising, Dan.

Welp, Leake is gone. The locals are saying that Bruce was being offered, along with Chapman. Rumor was they were asking for a minimum of a teams top 3 prospects for Chapman. :sh

[hotreds]

Once again we leave oodles of men in scoring position. The Reds have missed more scoring chances than Carter has little liver pills. Frazier is having a nice season, but he sure does leave ducks on the pond a whole lot! You can have all the great pitching you want, but if you can't hit to drive runs in, it doesn't really matter.

[Brian D.]

And, aren't fights in MLB the lamest of any professional sport ? Both teams come onto the field and...
exchange heated words. I expected girl slaps or "thumb wars" or an all out tickle fest to start at any moment between the Reds and Pirates.

Yep. Very lame. The fight against the Cardinals years ago was pretty sweet though :sl

[Brian D.]

Yoko Ono song seems good about now: "Number 9, number 9"...for the Reds' second losing streak of that amount this season.

[hotreds]

I'm not even watching the games anymore.......

[elderboy02]

Hey!!!! We broke the losing streak! :r

[Brian D.]

Hey!!!! We broke the losing streak! :r

No problem, they got a new one started last night.

I'd have at least one reason to enjoy the game tonight: It's one of the 'Bark in the Park' events, and I like most dogs better than most people. Especially most pro athletes. :r

Reds baseball comes to another close. Thank the Lord this season is over. Looks like next year will be pretty bad as well, especially now that they've announced that Price is coming back as manager again. Ugh. Looks like the plan for next year is to keep on losing.

Reds headed to Chicago today for three games versus the Cubs. Both teams with winning records so far? Who'd a thunk it?

The Reds are doing pretty good so far this year :tu

[Brian D.]

Three days later I'm :r at the post above this one.

Reds close to being no-hit by Cubs' Arrieta. Down 16-0 in bottom of ninth inning.

Yup, it just happened.

Boy, that was ugly, unless you're a Cubs fan of course.

[icehog3]

Don't feel bad, Brian, Arrieta is a beast.

[elderboy02]

How about the Cubs fan running on the field and celebrating with the team? I guess it was worth the night or 2 in the Hamilton County jail because he will be on the highlight reel forever. I was watching the game live and didn't even see the fan at first until I saw the 3 Cincinnati cops running at the guy :r

Great tweet last night from the Dodgers, said :

It's a long season, but 100 losses are not out of the question at this point. Think another starting pitcher got hurt on Thursday, they're already digging near the bottom of the barrel for replacements.

[Brian D.]

Reds have now lost 10 games in a row. This will be my last comment in this thread, maybe I'm the jinx.

[elderboy02]

Dumbass Reds

[Starscream]

Dumbass Reds

Amen.

[Brian D.]

Jay Bruce traded to NY Mets. hate to lose his throwing arm and (lately) solid hitting. It makes me wonder if something the batting coach said finally sunk in, or he was trying to make himself a better trade candidate?

[elderboy02]

Don't let the ownership fool you. What happened wasn't a rebuilding move, it was a salary dump...

[Dave128]

Thank you! :)

[elderboy02]

Thank you! :)

You are welcome. He was a class act with the Reds. You will enjoy him.

Slow start so far. I hope he settles in fast.

Bailey is our Opening Day starter. First time in his career.
If everyone stays healthy this year we'll do better than last year, but no division winner for sure. Not sure how the rest of the division looks, but I imagine their GMs didn't sit on their hands all winter like in Cincy.

[hotreds]

Gonna be another loooong season. At least the Nats are looking really good!

Through thick and thin good and bad Reds and Cubs fan all season long.

Blacked out today. On opening day of all days. I dont know how they have me in Washington and Baltimore's coverage area, but they do. I'm smack dab in the middle of Braves country down here.

Lol, true!


First win of the year finally up against your Cubbies. Mahle looked pretty good yesterday. Looks like Chicago is going to have another good team this year once their bats wake up.

[Brian D.]

One week into the season is way too soon for panic or doom 'n' gloom. But, it's not been an encouraging start to the season.

[elderboy02]

We currently have no offense :(

[Brian D.]

Will Friday the 13th bring some good luck for the Reds today?

[Brian D.]

The Reds' worst start since 1931.

At least the Cubs are ahead of somebody. ;) ;s

Terrible....

No apologies needed, your team has had plenty of its own woes through the years...decades...century.

So, the next bobblehead night promotion here is set to honor....Bob Ross, the long-deceased painter who had a show on PBS for years. I guess the team has run out of players, coaches, announcers, etc. to commemorate?

Reds lose! Reds lose!

Are you at least winning "Split the Pot" raffles at the stadium this summer, elderboy02? Not much else to go there for.

Haven't even been close. Will be there tomorrow. Hopefully will have some luck!

Tough year for my Reds.

[elderboy02]

Bad year :(

[icehog3]

They still have a team?

Pete Rose bets they do.

One of the main reasons I took the job in Cincinnati was because of the Red’s.

You could have chosen Baltimore instead, and at least gotten crabs.

Come to think, you can likely get crabs in Cincy too.

No, but almost everybody here in Cincytucky enjoys having three ways. (Chili, spaghetti, and cheese. What did you think I was talking about ?:r )

Reds introduce their new manager this morning. A nice diversion from wall to wall coverage of last night's Bengals debacle.

New coach :tu
Same owner :td

Let's get this thread restarted. REDS WIN! Now, they just gotta do that ninety or a hunnert more times.

[elderboy02]

Reds win! Reds win! :tu

[icehog3]

Oh, Jesus Christ. :r

[Brian D.]

Yeah, today's Reds loss was typical of this season so far. As Pete Rose famously said "You can't win a division in the first month..but you can sure lose one."

Ain't it the truth....;s

[elderboy02]

I still have hope. The offense is finally coming around and Nick Senzel is a beast. If Votto could get his sorry butt in gear, that would really help...

[Brian D.]

Reds lose! Reds lose! Dan, you should have come to Beer Sellar for the Ventura Cigar event instead.

Ventura cigars are mostly :pu ;s

Great article that shows RS are just being cheap and not saving “hundreds of millions”
On getting rid of Betts. ****ers.

And why would Reds fans care?

And why would Reds fans care?

Because they're hoping to have a major league team again someday? ;) ;s :r

Seriously?

Seriously?

No, that will never happen.



Quit putting them on tees for me, dan. :) ;s :r

Even though their bullpen sucks, I am really loving the chemistry of this team. They are really fun to watch this year...

I was hoping for a brawl after Javy Baez had the walk off the other night. :lr

[Brian D.]

Is now a good time to revive this thread? :r Do the math from their current record, Reds are projected to win about 26 games all season.

[icehog3]

They should be mathematically eliminated by May 3rd.......

Special two-for-one sale in Cincy for "Wait 'Til Next Year" signs - if you don't mind changing the date on them. :D

I was more thinking the past decade or so, but that might work also. :r

[elderboy02]

I have lots of free time in the evenings since I am not glued to the TV

[The Poet]

Good news is that the Reds pitched a combined no-hitter. :tu

Bad news is that they still lost the game. :r
